The Best Of... (Part 2)

Yesterday's post was for the non-Maddy photos from our most recent trip to Walt Disney World. Today I'm posting the best of Maddy's pics. There are 22 out of the 743 total Facebook photos posted, what can I say, the girl is photogenic! Click to enlarge, and enjoy!

The Best Of...

A couple of weeks ago (Has it really been that long?) we took a trip to Walt Disney World. As is typical on our vacations I took a LOT of photos, 3,160 to be exact. Of those I only posted 743 on Facebook. And of those, I've picked these 22 as my favorites.  And before anyone says anything, NO, these do not include any Maddy pics. I'm still trying to edit down that group into a manageable number! Click to enlarge, and enjoy!

Final Flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour Makes Special Flyover at Walt Disney World Resort

In a place where fairies fly, Space Shuttle Endeavour made a "ferry flight" today, mounted atop a NASA-modified 747 airliner. The historic flight took place in the early morning hours and was a space-explorer surprise for early-rising guests across Walt Disney World Resort. As part of its flight path, Endeavour soared over the Magic Kingdom Park and could be seen from various points across property. Read more at the Disney Parks Blog:  http://bit.ly/PHuDms

The Nautilus surfaces at EPCOT

Okay, so I read a rumor online that one of the 20k ride Nautilus subs was "dry docked" behind The Land pavilion in Epcot. I chuckled and thought that was just silly, wouldn't it be behind The Living Seas? At least that makes sense. But I was curious and had to know for myself, not being a Cast Member or a Florida resident I needed either a WDW insider or a satellite photo. I chose satellite photo, surfed over to Google Maps, typed in the address and here is what I discovered... Now, do my eyes deceive me or is that indeed the shape of one of our beloved ride vehicles? You can compare the outline of the image in the photo to these blueprints... I do not know how long ago this image was shot, could be a year or more old at this point. So, number one: Is it still there? Number two: Why is it there? And number three: How am I going to get back there to take photos of it for myself?! Anybody up for a road trip?
